Cheap flights from London to San Jose del Cabo

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the fare calendar runs from September through May, so late autumn and early winter are where the savings sit. Midweek departures usually undercut weekends, when business traffic out of London and holiday traffic into Baja both peak. Watch school holidays, Christmas and New Year, and Easter, which push connecting fares up quickly. If your itinerary routes through the United States, Thanksgiving week fills those hubs too. Book a few months ahead for winter sun, and check the price calendar before you fix your dates.

The airline list for this route mixes full-service network carriers with leisure operators. AeroMéxico, Air Canada, United Airlines and American Airlines tend to route you through North American hubs, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air Europa, Lufthansa City Airlines and German Airways send you through Europe. Condor and Helvetic Airways lean towards seasonal leisure flying. There are no nonstop flights from London, so every itinerary involves at least one connection, and the carrier you pick for the long leg decides how long the whole trip takes. What is included differs from fare to fare, so check baggage and whether the connection sits on one ticket or two before you compare totals.

Los Cabos Intl is the only airport serving San Jose del Cabo, and it handles the whole Los Cabos corridor. The transfer into San Jose del Cabo itself is short; resorts further along the coast sit at the end of a longer drive, so sort your transfer before you land. Taxis, pre-booked shuttles and rental cars are the usual ways in, and shuttle desks are inside the terminal. The airport gets busy when the North American departures bunch up, so leave a buffer on the way home. If you connect in the United States, you clear border formalities there before the final leg, which adds time to the journey.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you leave from — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or London City — since switching is not realistic.
• Check the connection: one ticket means the airline rebooks you if a leg is delayed, two tickets leave that risk with you.
• Confirm what the fare includes for baggage on every leg; the long-haul and connecting flight can differ.
• Check entry rules for Mexico and, if you transit the United States, whether you need a transit visa.
• Pick your dates against the price calendar: December is the cheapest month, and fares are listed from September through May.
• Book a transfer or rental car before you land, since the airport sits away from the resort strip.
